QF in the equation to India
Not a particularly attractive choice for BLR, but QF is back to India this fall, so connecting through them is one option for RTWers. CMB frequency on CX is also improving.
The AI leadership talked about connecting MAA in India directly to Europe and Westcoast - if they use HKG for connecting they may give CX more rights to India. That could lead to better connectivity for CX (TG, SQ are raking it in by expanding aggressively in India).
